Land Rover 2012

With the all-new Range Rover expected to arrive back from weight-loss boot camp some time in 2013, it will be a bit of a lean year for the British off-road brand.

The only excitement will be a mid-life refresh of the Land Rover Freelander 2, due in about November. Expect some visual tweaks to the exterior and some repackaging inside the mid-size off-roader, but nothing significant happening under the bonnet.
